INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the MySOMOI-USM Symposium 2025

The Malaysian Society of Oral Microbiologists and Immunologists (MySOMOI), in collaboration with the School of Dental Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), is proud to present the MySOMOI-USM Symposium 2025.

This symposium serves as a dynamic platform to promote and facilitate the advancement of knowledge in the immunological and microbiological aspects of oral health. Our objective is to foster the sharing, dissemination, and exchange of current research findings, clinical insights, and innovative applications in the fields of Oral Microbiology and Oral Immunology (OMOI) at both national and international levels.

We are committed to supporting the development of a robust scientific community that upholds the highest ethical standards in both fundamental and applied research. The symposium also aims to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, product development, and commercialisation efforts that contribute to improved oral healthcare outcomes in Malaysia and beyond.

We warmly welcome researchers, academicians, clinicians, postgraduate students, and industry professionals to join us in this intellectual and collaborative endeavour.
